Al-Hilal, a prominent Saudi Pro League club, has made an astonishing proposal of €300 million to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in an attempt to acquire the services of the World Cup-winning sensation, Kylian Mbappe.
Mbappe’s Contract Dispute and Real Madrid Speculations
Recent developments indicate a staggering €700 million deal for a one-year contract, with a release clause specifically reserved for Real Madrid after the initial year. Mbappe, the 24-year-old French forward, has found himself in a contract dispute with PSG and has declined to sign an extension.
Paris Saint-Germain’s Dilemma and Record-Breaking Offer
Amidst the contract standoff, PSG may be willing to accept a transfer fee lower than the original £155 million paid to Monaco in 2017 to avoid losing Mbappe on a free transfer. Notably, PSG offered a jaw-dropping 10-year deal worth $1.11 billion to the football prodigy, potentially making him the highest-paid athlete in history.
Nasser Al-Khelaifi’s Plea for Loyalty
Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the Chairman of PSG, expressed disappointment, emphasizing the club’s expectation for Mbappe to honor their verbal agreement and stay with the team.
